讲座简介：
We used multiple estimates from remote sensing-based datasets and simulations from earth system models, and one statistical framework to attribute the enhanced vegetation growth in the northern-extratropical latitudes during the past three decades. Our findings reveal that the observed vegetation activity is consistent with the simulations with anthropogenic forcings, where the greenhouse gases forcing plays a dominant role, but not with that expected from internal climate variability and natural forcings only. This study provides clear evidence of a discernible human fingerprint on large-scale terrestrial vegetation dynamics.
